Inks pact with New Orleans Looney agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the Pelicans on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The 29-year-old big man will join the Pelicans, though he'll likely be stuck behind Yves Missi (ankle) while competing for minutes with Derik Queen. Looney spent the first 10 seasons of his career with Golden State. Over 76 regular-season outings (six starts) in 2024-25, he averaged 4.5 points and 6.1 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per game.

Scoreless in six minutes Looney registered three rebounds and one assist in six minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Impact The Warriors didn't exactly rely on their centers much Wednesday -- Trayce Jackson-Davis started and played seven minutes, while Quinten Post played 10 minutes off the bench. Looney was used sparingly for most of the regular season, as he averaged 15.0 minutes in 76 appearances with 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.6 steals on 51.4 percent shooting from the field. Looney, who will turn 30 next season, is set to hit unrestricted free agency.

Nearly double-doubles Looney contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds in 14 minutes during Monday's 117-110 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Impact Trayce Jackson-Davis had another quiet showing with the starters, while Looney nearly double-doubled in 14 minutes, doing most of his damage in the first half. However, Looney has been quiet in the playoffs, averaging 2.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 10.4 minutes across 11 appearances.

Impact With coach Steve Kerr slowly moving away from Quinten Post, Looney's role could grow in this series as the team could use his size to match up with Rudy Gobert. And with Stephen Curry (hamstring) now ruled out through Game 4, the Warriors could potentially utilize some bigger lineups which would benefit Looney.

Impact After seeing nine minutes in Game 1, Looney saw a slight increase in minutes Wednesday -- Jimmy Butler left after eight minutes with a pelvic contusion and Brandin Podziemski was limited to 14 minutes due to an illness. Quinten Post, who had 12 points in 25 minutes, is likely to remain as the primary big off the bench for Golden State.

Logs six minutes Saturday Looney finished with two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes during Saturday's 97-94 victory over New York.

Impact Looney managed just six minutes in the loss, the fewest he has played since Christmas day. The improved play of Quinten Post has seen Looney relegated to the backup role once again. He began the season behind Trayce Jackson-Davis, who himself has basically fallen out of the rotation altogether. Although he typically plays minutes in the teens, Looney is unlikely to step into a sizeable role any time soon.

Impact Looney made an impact on the defensive end of the floor during Monday's win against Portland, finishing with two steals to go along with six rebounds. The veteran big man has seen his role change for the Warriors this season, but he continues to be a solid contributor, averaging 4.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 15.7 minutes per contest.
